Araquém Alcântara - Nature's Brazilian Photographer

Araquém AlcântaraMar de Dentro / (The Inner Sea)In early 2007, Araquém Alcântara publishes two new books about two different rainforest biomes in Brazil:

• A Grande Floresta / (The Great Forest) about the Amazon and

• Mar De Dentro / (The Inner Sea) about the Atlantic Rainforest.

"Mar De Dentro" is the name given to the Estuarine Lagoon Complex that stretches along the coastline from northern Paraná to southern São Paulo. This region represents the largest continuous remnants of Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil and is part of the so - called Southeast Reserves, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. The book was realized with the help of SPVS, an environmental NGO in the state of Paraná.
